This Title First Published 1676 But As The Portrait Plates For The Pope Indicate A Date Of 1700 This Example Published Circa 1700. Very Large Engraved Bookplate Of Thomas Anson Showing His Arms "Nil Desperandem" And Two Putti. Per Wikipedia Thomas Anson Frs C. 1695 - 1773 Was A British Member Of Parliament Traveler And Amateur Architect From The Anson Family. Anson Was The Son Of William Anson 1656-1720 And Isabella Carrier Sister-In-Law To Thomas Parker 1St Earl Of Macclesfield. The Family Estate Was Shugborough Hall In Staffordshire. Admiral George Anson 1St Baron Anson Was His Younger Brother And Along With Their Cousin George Parker 2Nd Earl Of Macclesfield They Were Taught Mathematics And Navigation By Isaac Newton's Friend The Mathematician William Jones Who Was Later To Propose Anson's Membership For The Royal Society In 1730. Anson Went Up To St John's College Oxford And Later Studied Law At The Inner Temple. Upon His Father's Death Anson Abandoned Law And Began The First Of Many Travels To The Continent As Was Then The Fashion For Young Men Of Fortune And Taste. In 1732 Anson And His Friend The Earl Of Sandwich Formed A Riotous Dining-Club Called The Society Of The Dilettanti Which Also Had The More Serious Purpose Of Encouraging Study Of Greek Architecture. In 1740 Thomas Briefly Joined His Brother George On The Centurion As He And His Crew Began Their Circumnavigation Of The Globe. Anson Left Them In Order To Travel To Egypt. This Qualified Him For The Egyptian Society And The Divan Society The Latter Being A Wild Drinking-Club Of Which Lord Dashwood And Lady Mary Wortley Montagu Were Avid Members. He Was Elected To The House Of Commons For Lichfield In 1747 A Seat He Held Until 1770. In 1748 Anson Was Sent To Versailles By Lord Sandwich With Secret Correspondence For The Duc De Choiseul And Madame De Pompadour. In Paris He Bought Crayons For His Friend The Duchess Of Bedford And His Sister-In-Law Lady Anson Sent Him A Long List Of Presents She Desired. In 1762 He Succeeded To The Vast Fortune Of Spanish Treasure Amassed By His Admiral Brother. This Enabled Him To Further Indulge His Passion For Architecture At Shugborough. Anson And Another Member Of The Society Of The Diletantti Rebuilt The House In The Greek Revival Style That The Pair Were Championing In England. Anson Filled Shugborough With Paintings Books And Objets D'art And Had Vasalli Paint Allegories Upon The Ceilings. The Park Was Strewn With Temples And Follies Including The Mysterious Shepherd's Monument The Pagoda Pigeon House And The Tower Of The Winds. The Park Has Been Described By Some As A Metaphor For Lord Anson's Circumnavigation Of The Globe. Others Contend That It Engages Aspects Of Many Cultures Both As A Tribute To Admiral Anson's Voyage And As A Representation Of Thomas Anson's Interest In Syncretic Philosophies. Anson Died Unmarried In March 1773. The Anson Estates Were Passed On To His Nephew George Adams Who Assumed The Surname Of Anson And Was Ancestor Of The Earls Of Lichfield. <br/> <br/> hardcover

192425021001London and Oxford: Ernest Benn Limited and Basil Blackwell printed by the Shakespeare Head Press Stratford-upon-Avon 1924. First and Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good /fair. One of 500 copies large quarto size 60 pp. and 60 plates with original dust jacket and prospectus. Ernest William Gimson 1864-1919 is know as one of the greatest of the English architect-designers. "Today his reputation is securely established as one of the most influential designers of the English Arts and Crafts movement in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries" n.b. info and quote from Wiki. <br /> <br /> As with William Morris Gimson believed in working with his hands and making things that fit their purpose with beauty striving for a merger of the practical and the aesthetic. He obhorred things made by machine; doing one's work well as best as one could by hand was the lodestar of his life. Morris and Gimson became friends and Gimson designed a cottage for May Morris at Kelmscott. <br /> <br /> This work is a fitting tribute with opening essays by his friends two of whom provided line drawings to accompany the essays and sixty collotype plates printed by Emery Walker. This particular volume has an interesting association with the Ex-Libris of Rainforth Armitage Walker 1886-1960 based on a chapter heading illustration by Aubrey Beardsley in "Le Morte D'arthur". Per Mark Samuels Lasner in "The Bookplates of Aubrey Beardsley" p. 95 this Ex-Libris was not designed as an original bookplate by Beardsley only three of these are known but Walker had this Beardsley illustration printed as his Ex-Libris by Hugh Dent the printer of "Le Morte D'arthur". Walker was a an early fan and collector of the works of Beardsley and authored several books on the artist and his works. The subscriber list at the back of the book lists an "R.G. Walker" with an address in Bedford Park with the "G." crossed out in pencil; Rainforth Armitage Walker did live in Bedford so it is entirely possible the middle initial was a typo and it is in fact his name in the subscriber list. <br /> <br /> To add interest to this volume we have the original prospectus which as of this writing no other copies online have and the dust jacket see condition statement below as well as both the Errata slip and the spare paper spine label see description below. A prior owner perhaps R.A. Walker pasted into the book two reviews: the first from The Times Literary Supplement dated 17 April 1924 and the second from The London Mercury dated May 1924. <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter natural linen with paper spine label fore- and bottom edges uncut the Ex-Libris of R.A. Walker on the front pastedown the title page with one of the eight in-text line drawings see p. 9 "The Cottage at Sapperton: South Side" the limitation statement on the verso of the title page this copy no. 21 of 500 the Errata slip bound in between the limitation page and the Contents the three essays followed by the section of collotype plates "made from drawings by Ernest Gimson and photographs of his completed work" p. 35 following the plates is a "List of the Original Subscribers" which include among many others C.H. St J. Hornby W.R. Lethaby May Morris B.H. Newdigate A.R. Powys and Emery Walker tipped onto the rear pastedown is the spare spine label; Caslon type on Batchelor's Kelmscott Hand-made paper large quarto size the binding measures 12" by 8 3/4" pagination: i-iv v-vii 1 blank 1-46 1 blank 60 plates printed on rectos only i-v List of Subscribers. The prospectus consists of a single leaf 11 3/8" by 8 1/2" on one side is a mirror of the title page with a short announcement above "Ready in March. and the other side with standard prospectus information including at the bottom a short section which could be used to order the book. The dust jacket is quite simple the front panel with just the book's title and "Four guineas net" at the bottom the spine again with just the book's title and the back panel with the press device of the Shakespeare Head Press. <br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: Volume better than very good the boards clean although showing some offsetting from the binding glue the linen on the sides clean a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior bright and clean other than a few very light stray marks and collated complete; the corners bumped with minimal rubbing the spine discoloured foxing to the top edge of the text block toning to the uncut fore- and bottom edges offsetting to the endpapers the two contemporary reviews tipped onto the front free endpaper with toning and the flyleaf the gift inscription also on the front free endpaper see Provenance below. The prospectus also a bit better than very good with no markings and relatively little edgewear but with some unintended creases and toning. The dust jacket is fair only the spine portion missing large pieces and showing old damp-stains as well as sunning the rest of the jacket with overall edgewear. Even with the jacket's issues this volume still special due to its completeness including the prospectus and provenance. <br /> <br /> ___PROVENANCE: In addition to this volume being owned by Rainforth Armitage Walker see details above it was also owned at one time by Joy Rodney Marsh 1914-2002 and her husband Millar J.C. White he "a well-known Berkeley resident and homebuilder" n.b. info and quote from Joy's obit in SF Gate online. This per a gift inscription on the front free endpaper dated September 20 1948 - the year is difficult to read which reads thus: "To Joy and Millar / In appreciation of their great kindness upon our visit to Piedmont / Wishing them every happiness / Recine and Ogar ". <br /> <br /> ___CITATION: Ransom Shakespeare Head Press no. 31 p. 12. <br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
